Overview

This chapter provides tutorials for setting up your EMG2926-Q10A.

•

Set Up a Wireless Network Using WPS

•

Connect to EMG2926-Q10A Wireless Network without WPS

•

Using Multiple SSIDs on the EMG2926-Q10A

Set Up a Wireless Network Using WPS

This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses

the EMG2926-Q10A as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook.

Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter

or PCI card).

There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection via the web configurator or utility.

This tutorial shows you how to do both.

•

Push Button Configuration (PBC)

- create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a

button. See

Section 6.2.1 on page 37

. This is the easier method.

•

PIN Configuration

- create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN

(Personal Identification Number) in the EMG2926-Q10A’s interface. See

Section 6.2.2 on page

38

. This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.

6.2.1

Push Button Configuration (PBC)

1

Make sure that your EMG2926-Q10A is turned on. Make sure the

WIFI

button (at the back panel of

the EMG2926-Q10A) is pushed in, and that the device is placed within range of your notebook.

2

Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and

utility in your notebook.

3

In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (

Start

or

WPS

button)

4

Log into EMG2926-Q10A’s Web Configurator and press the

Push Button

in the

Configuration >

Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G > WPS Station

screen.

Note: Your EMG2926-Q10A has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS

button in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you

can use one or the other.

Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button

within two minutes of pressing the first one.

The EMG2926-Q10A sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up

to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the EMG2926-Q10A securely.

The following figure shows you an example to set up wireless network and security by pressing a

button on both EMG2926-Q10A and wireless client (the NWD210N in this example).

6.2.2

PIN Configuration

When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both EMG2926-Q10A’s configuration

interface and the client’s utilities.

1

Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility. Go to the WPS settings and select the PIN method

to get a PIN number.

2

Enter the PIN number to the

PIN

field in the

Configuration > Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G >

WPS Station

screen on the EMG2926-Q10A.

buttons (or button next to the PIN field) on both the wireless client utility screen and the

The EMG2926-Q10A authenticates the wireless client and sends the proper configuration settings to

the wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to

communicate with the EMG2926-Q10A securely.

The following figure shows you the example to set up wireless network and security on EMG2926-

Q10A and wireless client (ex. NWD210N in this example) by using PIN method.
